I want to get some waves in my super straight hair, and I won't use heat. What is the best wave making/scrunching product?

I twist my hair up tightly after showering, and sleep with it in a twisted bun or clip. Take it out in the AM & touch up spots with your fave hairspray, salt spray, or scrunching product!

Its too short to braid as well, due to my layers. But thank you for the tip!

What you need to do is purchase a very thin curling wand, Nume carries them at like 1mm and great quality, the wand is so small that you'll be able to twist ur hair around it and you can control the amount of hair your twirling to get waves rather than little spirals

Styling mouse and twist or braid your hair to the scalp and put a bobbin pin on the end to hold it up.& when it dries it will give you a beautiful wave.

When it's damp scrunch it with your hands and mousse and then once it's dry (or use a blow dryer) softly comb it out

Or braid it while its wet (I know it's hard, I have shoulder length in the front and shorter in the back) but even if you just braid the top later while its wet and then take it out when it's dry that should help
